Thanks to Annabel for sharing this news from St Helens. Ed
Last year Village of Angels in St Helens was a huge success with over 100 Angels landing in the village and shining throughout the Christmas period.
This year we want to build on that success and are looking for amazing inspirational artists, crafts people and local groups to take part by creating an Angel of their own; making Christmas 2014 even more spectacular.
Visiting angels raising money for playgroup
The Angels will be placed throughout the village using a mixture of public space, private homes and local shops, restaurants and the village pub. Once again the emphasis is on being as creative as possible using recycled materials and solar lights; creating a wondrous Christmas Spectacle for everyone to enjoy.
All funds generated from this festive project will be donated to St Helens Playgroup to help with running costs throughout the year.
On show throughout December
The Angels will be descending on the village on the 1st of December and will draw interest and visitors from across the island and we aim to get as much support and publicity at the launch event as possible.
Ideas need to be submitted by November the 2nd so that space can be allocated throughout the village and.
If you would like to register yourself or your group to create and Angel then please do so by emailing Leigh Jackman on [email protected].
We can’t wait to see the ideas and creating some Christmas Magic in St Helens with this Celestial Celebration.
For inspiration see the Village of Angels Facebook Page, where there are plenty of photos from the previous year’s event.
